BLURB:

I’m known for three things:

I’m captain of my college hockey team.

I’m hot.

I’ve got a big “stick” and plenty of pretty ladies to handle it for me.

Yeah, that’s cocky as hell, but it’s true.

One problem: I’m failing my classes.

I need to get my grades up or I’m off the team, and I’ll lose my shot to play pro hockey.

So when Poppy Wylder asks me to fake date her to get back at her ex, I’m in. Under one condition: she tutors me.

I’ve had a crush on this beautiful genius since we went to high school together. She hates me though.

But one unexpected kiss changes everything.

This good girl with a naughty streak in the bedroom is my fantasy come true.

She confides in me about her dreams. I tell her mine.

We agreed to call it quits at the end of the semester, but I’ve caught major feelings…I want to make Poppy mine for real…

I just have to convince her to take a chance on the guy she never wanted.
